    m35A3 Transfer case

    I get mine rolling about 5mph put in neutral and try to get shifted in low before it stops rolling . Mine will go if I an stoped and in N , but it takes less force if I am rolling . Having the front axle engaged would just add more drag and binding in the drivetrain making it harder to shift .

    It is very simple do not buy a truck without a title or a SF 97 in YOUR name . The most I have spent to get a title in my name is $60 for a SF 97 and another $95 for the title . Lawers are needed for a reason . Too many people are out to screw you or a neglegent causing others injury or death ...

    Finally Got My ARB Air-Lockers...

    The selinoid bleeds air off when shut off , you will need to make sure your setup will bleed the air out of the locker , not just shut the air off . If the air is not bled off the locker will stay locked until the air in the system leaks out .

    Hazardous paint problem
